I have not come across anything but will check up on some maps to see what turns up. I&#39;ve always like those cottages... love the chimney&#39;s, but did notice a week or two back they were leaning for more than I recall from my last visit there.<br />Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-47100280363389821792014-06-27T11:55:01.637+01:002014-06-27T11:55:01.637+01:00I live in one of the 5 cottages on Stockport Road ...I live in one of the 5 cottages on Stockport Road next to Pole Bank and am desperately trying to obtain some history or even better old photos of <br />them.

It is a fascinating insight into the context of Gaskell&#39;s Mary Barton and on the strength of feeling among workers at that time against unfair wages and conditions. It offers a real life situation around the social history with regards to Chartism, religion and industrialisation in the North West.<br />Thank you<br />SJ KennedySJ Kennedynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-72967734638005233472013-10-24T15:14:04.739+01:002013-10-24T15:14:04.739+01:00As a student of 19th century literature and curren...As a student of 19th century literature and currently writing an essay in relation to Elizabeth Gaskells &#39;Mary Barton&#39; I found this information riveting as the murder was her inspiration and reflects the issues of industrialisation and Capitalism at the time.

This blog has now been going for over 2 years, with a new post every day, so it must now be increasingly more difficult to find material for original articles about Hyde. I think that the latest post by Dave is excellent. A lot of time and effort has gone into it. Don&#39;t forget not everyone has a copy of Middleton&#39;s book. <br />Keep up the good work Dave.<br /><br />PaulHyde Ladhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13799992790388189244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-24176332553767900102012-09-13T20:10:10.585+01:002012-09-13T20:10:10.585+01:00ps @ William

Your first comment above is not criticism it is insulting.... Dave would have put a lot of time into the post by taking the pictures and typing the information... then working on the post, so to then see a comment that says &#39;Dreary&#39; popping up is an insult in my book.<br />Now we are accused of being a &#39;Clique&#39; when all we are really is a team of four giving time freely to anyone who might find what we do here of interest. <br />You also dragged poor Gerald into this who as nothing to do with this blog, but as been a welcome supporter from the start. <br /><br />Any more comments I deem unworthy will be removed and go unanswered as my time is more valuable than to waste in on the likes of you William. Any more contact you wish to have.. be it an apology or insult will have to be by email.<br /><br />To others who have had to waste time reading this please forgive me... it will not happen again<br /><br />TomTomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-79251300810501373322012-09-13T16:41:28.907+01:002012-09-13T16:41:28.907+01:00Excellent article Dave, thanks.

Thank for the photo&#39;s of Hyde Chapel, they are like a breath of fresh air. The way the grass grows around the stones and the graves falling apart are really something you don&#39;t often see. I also like the writing on the stones which tells you who is buried at that particular spot. The whole content of the pictures make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. But I&#39;ve always liked grave stones they put me in contact with the past.
